Abstract

In closure apparatus and method for an elongated
lid of a compartment, the lid being pivotally supported
on a wall defining the compartment via a pair of mutually
spaced apart hinge arms, a control device controls each
of a first driving device and an electromagnetic clutch
to make a deformation of the lid to the compartment return
to its original form in response to an output of the locked
state detection signal from the detecting section. In the
first embodiment, a rotation direction of a reversible motor
is changed to a reverse direction which corresponds to an
open direction of the lid to drive the lid toward the open
direction in response to the output of the locked state
detection signal.
